(SOUNDBITE) (English) TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR COACH, MAURICIO POCHETTINO, SAYING: "Yes, I am going to leave (Tottenham), or if I lose, maybe too." STORY: Lucas Moura conjured the second Champions League miracle in 24 hours with a last-gasp winner to complete his hat-trick and a 3-2 win to send Tottenham Hotspur past a shattered Ajax Amsterdam into the final on away goals on Wednesday (May 8).

A day after Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-0 to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit, Tottenham came back from the dead after Ajax had looked certain to reach their first final for 23 years.

"I think that scoring the hat-trick.

Three goals.

If our players are superheroes, he is a super, super, superhero," Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino said of the Brazilian's stellar night.

Tottenham had suffered three consecutive defeats in all competitions before Wednesday's second leg and when Ajax led 2-0 at half-time, there was a celebratory mood inside the jam-packed Johan Cruyff Arena as their fans' thoughts turned to Madrid.

But their joy turned into a nightmare as they were overwhelmed by a Tottenham side who dispensed with complicated tactics and simply threw the kitchen sink at their hosts.
